Just ran… probably will take some time for me to fall zzz so here I am penning some thoughts.
Dragonfly – More like a HouseflyDidn’t get the dragonfly internship but why ain’t I the least bit upset over it?
Maybe because I probably wouldn’t have wanted to commit six months to some crap firm; I have not always been accurate in my assessment of things but yeah, the way I see it, the internship with Dragonfly was a total crap deal. Haha, apparently doing an intern for ops at UBS night shift pays up to 1.6K? Hahaha
You get paid something like
SGD$400 a month for six months to do shit for them (though I probably have to agree you will be able to pick up some stuff from it) and they don’t even have a proper office (working from a service apartment in Somerset) and the analysts there thinks they are big f#*K and was totally rude... (At least one of them were la – Told me in such a foul manner that she had a long day. Period. Damned #@#@ I have long everydays and still had to go back to my office) and it is no as if I was exactly dying to work for them…
It is like you pay peanuts and you get monkeys kind of theoryUS$250 a month? They must be joking and they claim to be an international consulting firm with offices in NY and here. They must still think they are running some kind of slave trade and the two co-founders probably fly business class month in and month out, eating caviar as they suck the life out of the poor interns. Hahaha
Honestly, and not because of any sour grapes, even if they do offer me I probably will not take it. I mean my current bank is paying me well enough (Dragonfly’s offer seems obscene in comparison) and I probably will opt for a tour in Europe (or Australia) to really enjoy myself before entering the workforce and I am getting to look at some modeling at my bank now.
School – ThursdayWas back in school today; first time in a long while and it really feels different. There is so much more life there than in my office but then again you can’t compare the two. They are like durians and strawberries (not even apples and oranges)
Met L brothers for FYP albeit it being a short one (OK – Its my fault that I have a one day week but at least I have done work K…).
Past few daysCan’t really recall what I did… Anyway internship is really coming to an end… Damned @!#!#
